this Guide</span>
<p><b><i>What this guide discusses</i></b>. The purpose of this discussion
is to provide a guide for users to tunnel to the desired server using SSH
(Secure Shell). We have broken the guide into several distinct elements.
If you wish, you can jump to those sections that most pertain to your questions
without referring to the previous sections. If you have questions that
are beyond the scope of this Help, we have listed below some resources
that might help you out.
<p><b><i>What this guide does not discuss</i></b>. This guide does not
explain how to use CVS, only how to set up the tunnel so that you can use
CVS. However, a brief description of the command to begin using CVS, once
the tunnel has been established, is appended at the end of this document.

SSH</span>
<p>SSH is a flexible and more secure replacement for telnet and rlogin.
It is widely used in development projects to provide access control and
data-transport security. SSH can be used to create an unobtrusive, transparent
"port tunnel" to the CVS (concurrent versions system) server. Data sent
through the tunnel are encrypted, but the process is invisible to you or
to the client software you are using to access the CVS repository. Because
it is easy to use and very secure, we recommend SSH for developers accessing
the CVS repository.
<p>Accessing the CVS repository without SSH runs the very real risk of
having a third-party thief snoop your CVS password. And, with your CVS
password, the thief can wreak serious mischief. For instance, he or she
might quite plausibly compromise a project's CVS repository by inserting
a virus in the source code.
